Lisa O’Neill has three children. Two sons with her first husband, both in their early 20s, and an eight-year-old daughter to her second husband. The now single mum, 54, is originally from South Africa, and headed overseas for three years at the age of 21, and then met her first husband and immigrated to Australia in 2006. She married her second husband in 2017, now lives in Pimpama – and published her first book earlier this year. A First Time Parent is all about practical parenting, a manual perhaps, maybe a survival guide – filled with all the things Lisa discovered about parenting the first time around, and then the second. It’s now on the Amazon best-seller list. Lisa chatted with Donna Kelly.
